Does it run for you?  Are you using EABI or OABI?  I haven't mangaged to get it to actually work here yet with EABI, it just spins on startup using all the CPU.

i dont have any EABI systems (yet)

I'll put together a stage1 or more tarball once I figure out what's needed if you like.

Currently my system is arm-iwmmxt-linux-gnueabi so that will only work if you have a PXA27x.  I will be able to build something more generic but obviously that would take a little longer...
